Cold Rice Noodle Salad with Carrots, Radishes, and Creamy Tahini Dressing. The creamy tahini dressing is outrageously good. I sprinkled the top with toasted sesame seeds, green onions, and broccoli microgreens. In this salad, I’ve used radishes and carrots I got from my local CSA. This cold salad would be the perfect addition to any picnic or BBQ. Place a good-sized portion on a plate and garnish with the sesame seeds, green onions, and microgreens. (It should be concentrated and salty because the salad ingredients are not. *For a lunch, the salad alone would be great.
Many health food stores carry only roasted sesame tahini, but if you ask them to carry raw tahini they may comply, because the same sources that manufacture the roasted tahini also make raw tahini. Since then, growing interest in ethnic foods has introduced many people to hummus, a chick-pea-tahini spread or dip that is a staple in the mid-east, and baba-gannouj, which contains eggplant and tahini. Available roasted or raw, the healthiest choice would be tahini made out of raw sesame seeds, with nothing added, subtracted or refined. You should be getting raw tahini that really is a raw food product. Because of its non-acid nature, tahini is an ideal protein source for people with weak digestive systems, invalids and young children, and is an excellent source of quick energy for active people and athletes. Whole sesame seeds are commonly ground into a butter, called tahini, with a consistency a bit thinner than peanut butter. In the process of grinding the whole raw seeds into tahini, reputable companies keep the temperature from the friction in the grinding mechanism right around 100 ° degrees Fahrenheit, which is well below the 118 ° it takes to kill enzymes. Where to Find It Raw tahini can be purchased from several mail order sources, usually at great savings over health food store prices. Benefits to Health Tahini is a useful food because of its healthful properties, pleasant taste and adaptability in recipes. Currently a jar of tahini costs about one third less than a jar of almond butter. A nutritional powerhouse, tahini contains all the essential amino acids, making it a high quality protein, plus it is rich in lecithin, vitamin E and calcium.
To make the yogurt-tahini sauce, combine the yogurt, tahini paste, and the garlic clove in a blender. Place each eggplant half on a serving plate and add some of the tasty yogurt sauce on top. Place the eggplant, whole, on a baking pan and bake for 40 min.
Delicious!
